Failed RNY and only 1/2 a revision = a ton of belly fat
Hello,
I apologize for coming on and venting, I guess I am looking for anyone who has had a similar experience. I had RNY in 2002 and was miserable from the beginning. I never felt well after, had severe dumping and now nesidioblastosis. I fought with our provincial insurance for years and finally they approved me for a revision. When I woke up I was horrified to learn that only half the revision could be done, I supposedly had a VSG and I was supposed to have a DS. I say supposedly because I can eat more than my teen boys and I am hungry all the time. I lost 40 lbs within 2 weeks of the surgery and have gained back 44 (Even after joining the gym 2 - 5x per week and giving up pop and french fries: ( ). Another woman who had surgery a week after me with the same surgeon and had a VSG has lost over 150 lbs this year. Besides feeling like a failure I am now massively thick in the stomach area, my blood pressure is high and I am now borderline diabetic - not what one expects after any WLS. Has anyone else made it through something like this? My surgiversary is approaching and I wish I wasn't so sad about it.
Thanks

I feel and look huge and gross, I have never looked or felt so poorly. I have a ton of weight around my stomach area and worry about having a heart attack : (

Actually, they first approved me to see Dr. Hares in Michigan. I can't afford to pay for the surgery myself as my student loan consumes my life. I am hoping that if I can't the second part this summer with Dr. G they'll let me see Dr. K. I guess I am pretty shocked at how my health and appearance is going downhill...
